It's a joke in the genre of "when I take time to complete a project, I'm being lazy, when my boss takes time to complete a project, he's being thorough".
While on the subject of plagiarism, I'm not a legal expert ofcourse but to the best of my knowledge there is no legal penalty for plagiarism per se, and any censure that occurs does so usually in academic circles. What we are confusing plagiarism with (as a punishable offence) is copyright laws and even with that the guidelines are fuzzy. In most cases you have to prove definitively that infringement led to commercial gain. Yes, I'm sure people plagiarise thoughts, content, ideas, quotes, all the time and as reprehensible as it is, on an internet forum, it's hardly liable or of commercial value or of any great significance to anyone other than the plagiariser's ego.
